UK SBS PR17075 Monitoring Services for Innovate UK

Descriptions

Innovate UK is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) as a means of awarding contracts for monitoring services. Innovate UK provides grant funding to individuals and organisations involved in developing technology and science innovations. It is vital for Innovate UK that the performance and progress of publicly funded projects are monitored to ensure that the funding is used properly and effectively. The DPS is divided into a number of lots based on the different areas of innovation to which the innovation projects relate. The DPS is a completely electronic tendering system through which Monitoring Services Providers (MSPs) can apply to be admitted to a specific Lot. Interested parties must specify which lots they are applying to join. Admission to a lot or lots is no guarantee of work, but Innovate UK's intention would be to invite tenders from MSPs within lots for future monitoring services opportunities. MSPs can apply to join the DPS at any time in the life of the DPS.
